angles must be in degrees. Mixing degrees and radians is M0.

 GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR C1 & C2 MARKING

Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:

1. Factorisation
( x 2 + bx + c) = ( x + p)( x + q), where pq = c , leading to x = …
(ax 2 + bx + c) = (mx + p)(nx + q), where pq = c and mn = a , leading to x = …

2. Formula
Attempt to use correct formula (with values for a, b and c).

3. Completing the square

Solving x 2 + bx + c = 0 : ( x ± p) 2 ± q ± c, p ≠ 0, q ≠ 0 , leading to x = …

Method marks for differentiation and integration:

1. Differentiation
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x n → x n −1 )

2. Integration
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x n → x n +1 )

Use of a formula
Where a method involves using a formula that has been learnt, the advice given in recent examiners’
reports is that the formula should be quoted first.
Normal marking procedure is as follows:
Method mark for quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there are mistakes in the
substitution of values.
Where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by implication from correct working
with values, but will be lost if there is any mistake in the working.

Exact answers
Examiners’ reports have emphasised that where, for example, an exact answer is asked for, or working
with surds is clearly required, marks will normally be lost if the candidate resorts to using rounded decimals.

Answers without working

The rubric says that these may gain no credit. Individual mark schemes will give details of what happens
in particular cases. General policy is that if it could be done “in your head”, detailed working would not
be required. Most candidates do show working, but there are occasional awkward cases and if the mark
scheme does not cover this, please contact your team leader for advice.

Misreads
A misread must be consistent for the whole question to be interpreted as such.
These are not common. In clear cases, please deduct the first 2 A (or B) marks which would have been lost
by following the scheme. (Note that 2 marks is the maximum misread penalty, but that misreads which
alter the nature or difficulty of the question cannot be treated so generously and it will usually be necessary
here to follow the scheme as written).
Sometimes following the scheme as written is more generous to the candidate than applying the misread
rule, so in this case use the scheme as written.
If in doubt please send to review or refer to Team Leader.
